Then it slowly fell apart as it got updated and eventually I replaced it with another distro. I revisit RebornOS as it is one of the distros I think has great potential and is underrated. The ISO I tried (a year ago?) was very unstable - could not even get it to install, but I now downloaded their latest 2023 August ISO. It seems a lot is issues were addressed and I could get it installed Ok. One thing about RebornOS is how ridiculously FAST it boots and shuts down! Anyway, so I found the Cinnamon a bit fragmented this time around. The cinnamon menu looks like an early xfce from about MX Linux v14. Some items have icons, others not. The themes - desktop, icons, buttons are incomplete and inconsistent. I tried out the Reborn Fire application. The idea is wonderful - install desktops, WMs, software. Well, not one desktop could install, they all failed (after burning a bunch of internet bandwidth). I tried 3 or four across the spectrum - KDE, xfce, Trinity and Openbox - all failed to install. The apps sometimes installed, but most of the time did not actually install or uninstall. I got more predictable results directly with pamac and yay. THis is a distro that I want to see succeed, but it keeps having potholes, so 5/10 for the 2023 edition. Was this review helpful?

One is a desktop older i3 HP computer and the other is on an external drive using a Dell i7 sff. I had a harder time installing on the Dell i7 sff than the other but was finally able to accomplish the install using the offline install. I like Reborn OS. I am enjoying learning more about it. I am 2 years into Linux, and have tried at least 20 different distros. Arch is at the top of my list (Manjaro, Garuda, Endeavour, Reborn OS, Mabox with Bluestar being my least favorite of the bunch). Reborn is easy to use & installing via sudo pacman -U was smooth. Setting up was smooth. I like it as much as Manjaro. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 35 reader reviews of RebornOS...
